Your AI doesn't know anything about your life.
Explore life with AI
A free Mac app that keeps a live biographer alongside you. It interviews you about your past, present and future, writes your story as it goes, and gives your AI the context to help with reflection, everyday chores and planning your life.

Remember This writes your life story
The Life Book tab drafts your biography from what your archive already knows—where you've lived, who keeps appearing in your photos, what your voice memos talk about. It splits your life into eras automatically and writes one focused chapter at a time, in the background, in minutes.
Chapters, not a data dump
Pick an era—the most recent is pre-selected—and get one focused, readable chapter. Come back to the same era anytime; each pass builds on the last.
It interviews you
While writing, it asks the few questions only you can answer—who's in the 2019 photos, what mattered that year. Answer by voice or text; corrections are remembered for every future chapter.
Never a black box
You always see whether it's writing (step away), waiting on your answers, or done. Your life story stays in plain markdown, in your folder, like everything else.
What this looks like in practice
Things you can only ask once your AI can read your own archive
Your past
“Write my autobiography.”
The Life Book splits your life into eras and drafts a chapter at a time from the photos, places and people already in your archive.
“How different was life before and after we had kids?”
Your own timeline either side of a date, rather than what you happen to remember about it now.
“Map all my travel over the last decade, down to the exact dates.”
Every trip and its dates, reconstructed from where your photos were taken. Nobody keeps that log. Everybody has the photos.
Your present
“What have I been up to lately? Write an update for friends and family.”
Drawn from what you actually did over the past weeks, not from a blank page on a Sunday evening.
“I photographed an event poster a few days ago. What was it, and can I go?”
Every photo is described in words when it lands, so the poster you half-remember is searchable text with a date attached.
“Who haven’t we had over for dinner in a while?”
Who turns up in your photos, and how long it has been since the last time.
Your future
“Find us somewhere to travel we haven’t already been.”
It knows everywhere you have been, so it can rule all of it out before it starts suggesting.
“Based on what we’ve done to the house before, what maintenance is due soon?”
What was done, and when, going back years. The service you had done in a summer you no longer remember is still in there.
How it works
You keep capturing what you already capture. Remember This does the filing.
Photos
Voice Memos
Transactions
Projects
Notes
Capture
Photos, voice memos, transactions, and notes. Use the tools you already have—iPhone, Apple Watch, or a text editor.
Structure
Remember This organizes everything into markdown files with timestamps, people, places, and metadata. All on your Mac.
Use
Claude Code and any other MCP-compatible agent read that folder, which is what lets them help with your actual life rather than life in general.
Your life shouldn't live in someone else's database.
Everything lives in one folder on your Mac, as plain markdown you can read, edit and back up yourself. Photos and voice memos never leave the machine, and any MCP-compatible agent can use the folder, so your tools can change without taking your context with them.

See all posts →v0.12.0: Write Your First Chapter
The biggest thing we've built so far: Remember This now attempts to write your life story — drafting a biography from your photos, places, people, and timeline, one focused chapter at a time, and asking you only the few questions it can't answer itself. Plus: answer its questions by voice, and a fix for a mic bug that was silently blocking recording.
v0.11.0: Better Local AI on Your Mac
The follow-up to the May benchmark: per-tier model picks land as defaults, Apple Silicon Macs caption photos through SwiftLM at about 10× the previous speed, and Power Mode keeps heavy backfill from eating your battery on the road. Plus voice-memo queue improvements, Abort / Re-transcribe buttons, and a VLM circuit breaker.
Local AI on Mac: A May 2026 Benchmark
Two weeks benchmarking inference runtimes and models across an Intel i9 and an M1 Max, kicked off by one production captioning crash. What works, where the cliffs are, and the concrete model swaps Remember This v0.11 will ship.
The sooner you start, the more there is to work with.
Remember This reads the photos and voice memos you already have, so there is something in your archive on day one. It gets better every week you keep capturing.
